Abstract
The aim of this study is to find out the relevance of the competences worked on in the area of
social science, specifically in the subjects of geography and history, through the perceptions of pupils
in the 4th year of compulsory secondary education (ESO). In order to carry out the survey, a purposive
sampling was carried out in which more than 1400 4th year ESO students (in Spain) participated.
In addition, using a Likert-type scale of our own creation called Evaluation of the Perception of
Social Science Competences (EPECOCISO) and following a design of quantitative methodology, an
exploratory factor analysis was carried out with the analysis software SPSS through the descriptive
process, which allowed us to select the three factors that make up the study. Subsequently, correlations
were established between factors through Pearson’s test, and between the different variables that
make up each one of them with the socio-demographic variables (distinguishing between ordinal
and nominal variables) through the chi-square test of independence and Cramer’s V test (nominal),
as well as the linearity test, Goodman’s gamma test, and the Kruskal (ordinal) test. Finally, one of
the most important conclusions of this study is that the difficulties encountered by students in the
acquisition of competences is conditioned by the development of the assessment processes that are
carried out.
